I was in the area and saw this bakery so I had to go and visit. They told me they just opened up on…read moreDecember 19th so there is still a lot of prepping. There are no signs or menus posted anywhere but I just asked the lady what each item was. Since I was running late I couldn't really take my time to order so I just go5 a Portuguese tart to try on my drive home. It was like, very very good. Very flaky and then very custardy and thick filling inside. Bad move on my part for getting only one but I will do a proper visit and get more next time along with trying the other pastries, coffee, and sandwiches. They're right by the Brooklin library so I anticipate this to be a regular place for me to visit before or after those library runs! .

I was looking for a quality bread/bake shop. The reviews for the VBS were very good so I thought I…read morewould give it a try. This is what I found. When entering the store the first thing that bothered me was, you walk into a maise a never ending complex of dead end ailes that lead no where. Eventually I ended up at the bread counter. I asked for a loaf of whole wheat, oh we don't sell that was the reply. Ok then I'll have just a loaf of white bread we don't sell that was the reply. So I said what do you sell, anyway I endit up with a loaf of 9 grain & a sour dough loaf. At $4.00 each !!!. Way too much for small loafs of bread. In the mean time I had lost my wife, she was somewhere in the maise of aisles. Anyway I won't be going back there. A bad selection of expensive breads and bazzar store layout. I would give VBS a *** rating only because the place looked clean.

I tried their salted caramel cupcake and it was delicious. It was a great surprise to look up their Yelp business page and see the variety of things they offer. I also had a great conversation with everyone who was there, including the baker. I am not a huge fan of baked goods in general, but this place had my mouth watering for more. I can't wait to stop buy and try more of their stuff this weekend.

I 'forced' myself to have multiple visits before I reviewed it. I know, cupcakes are tough…read more I went to Cupcake Junkie twice to get cupcakes for a fam jam. I ordered a dozen fresh ones and they were fantastic. I also bought day-old cupcakes and there were also fantastic! Don't shun the day-olds! The variety isn't as good as the fresh ones, but I didn't hear one person complain as they were quickly devoured. What I enjoy the most about their cupcakes is that the cake isn't sweet, the icing and filling take care of the sweet. I'm not saying the cake is blah, I'm saying the cake not being sugary balances them so your teeth don't hurt. The 3rd visit was to pickup my Valentine's Day treats! I ordered 6 vanilla minis, 6 chocolate minis and a heart shaped Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake. As a chocolate addict, I thought I would like the chocolate ones more, but the vanilla minis stole my heart. The picture of the cake is deceiving. I expected it to be just a heart shaped cookie, but it really is a cake! The best way to describe it is a fluffy cookie; it was freaking awesome. I should've got one for myself. ;) My last visit was for a light supper. I had some time to kill, so I ordered a pulled pork sandwich on a kaiser combo and took a seat. It's a very cozy venue, but not crowded. All of the tables were clean and the large windows let lots of natural light in. I had a coffee while I waited and they brought me a housemade marinara sauce and flatbread. Delightful! It was warmed up and had a little heat; I could've eaten the whole thing, but I had to leave room for my sandwich. Their coffee is fantastic; it comes from a local roaster called Trebilock.The kaiser was fresh and the pork was slow-cooked to perfection. The coleslaw on the sandwich was a nice twist. It was crisp and saucy, just how I like it. It was a great meal. I'd love to try their other sandwiches! I'm not done! I got a combo, so it's cupcake time! So many choices, but their Facebook posts convinced me the try the Cupcake of the Month. Each month they have a creative cupcake featured that you must try. From all of their cupcakes I've tried, my favourites are Red Velvet, Banana Chip, Maple Bacon, Chocolate Mint and Vanilla. I haven't tried them all, but I haven't had one I didn't like! The warm weather is coming, so I know I'll be back for their Kawartha Dairy Ice Cream! A welcome addition to Whitby. It's got great food and friendly service. They will make you a cupcake junkie!

What can I say, everything hits right for me. Honestly 10/10 on flavor, size, freshness, level of sweetness. Oh and wonderful service, super speedy and nice!

Apple fritters are what they're known for All the jelly filled donuts (insert Homers drooling happy face) again so good! Lemon squares! Salivating just thinking about this.

I've heard many good things about Caldense Bakery in Whitby so I had to drop in and try for myself…read more They specialize in a wide selection of fresh breads and pastries, while offering light meals. I had their Bifana sandwich, a Portuguese style grilled pork with caramelized onions on a fresh bun. It was a rustic sandwich with good flavour. My friend had the Chicken Caesar Wrap and that looked and tasted good. Of course, we couldn't be in a pastry shop without trying their delicious looking pastries. A pineapple topped bun caught my eye with its bright yellow colour. It was delicious and I ate the whole thing! My companion had a selection of pastries, mostly chosen by her young daughter. They were good, too! Tina's Portuguese Cuisine shares the space with them, offering more substantial meals. They specialize in Portuguese chicken and other favourites, with catering available. My friend tried their Shepherd's Pie. It was a generous serving that resulted in leftovers. While I usually prefer a more substantial meal for lunch, this food was good. I'll definitely come back for their fresh breads and pastries!

My friend suggested visiting Caldense as we were in the neighbourhood and it was a good experience! I got the Chicken Caesar Wrap, some pastries, and my friend got a pork sandwich and pineapple square. The wrap was pretty tasty, loaded with ingredients, but slightly too oily for my preference. The wrapper was similar to a thin pita, it was small and barely wrapped around all the ingredients. It was under $10 (I believe $7.50+tax) and well worth the price! Some of the treats we got were unmarked with no name or price to go with them. We ended up getting a macaron (birthday cake), lemon tart, double chocolate square, and a nutella lobster tail. They were not mind-blowing but still pretty decent. The bakery is cozy with a few tables to eat in, but it was split with another restaurant! It wasnt easily distinguishable and was quite confusing came time to order as it was our first time visiting. The left side is for Caldense, and the right side served Portuguese food. After ordering, there was no number or ticket, but they called out the order. We sat on the other side and I didn't hear it, but they came around to where we sat, very considerate as I was taking care of my young daughter as she was already eating her own food.

They have a wide variety of breads and baked goods, but they seem to specialize in rye, whole wheat, dinner rolls, hamburger and hot dog buns, as well as sausage rolls. The Marble Rye instantly appealed to me for it's vivid, 2-tone, swirly appearance. It's as close to psychadelic as a bread experience could ever be. Of course, I had to order it! I also ordered some hamburger buns. Both were extremely tasty and super fresh. The rye does not have a sour taste at all, so if you are looking for a denser, sourdough style rye, the Breadhouse rye is probably not what you are looking for. But if you want a very cool looking rye that is light, fluffy, but with a decent crust, then look no further. Next time, I will try the sausage rolls and butter tarts (either plain or raisin). You can order a cake from them as well. Staff are friendly, courteous, and know their product well. You can order for pick-up if you want to speed things along. This is definitely worth the trip.
